So I just spent a weekend in the state of potatoes (although I didn't actually see many potatoes myself)! Most of my friends have exclaimed, "What do you want to go to Idaho for?" Obviously the state of Idaho is not well known as an exciting state of the union to visit. But I will, one day, leave here
I also got to meet my newest nephew, the ever so cute Philip, Jr (ha ha, not actually his name, just a person he resembles!). He was all cute and sweet, I think it helped being the only kid with 4 women and a most patient uncle to coo over him. I think uncle RC enjoyed him the most!
I got to go to a wonderful chic flick, stuff myself at the Olive Garden, spend money at a Deseret book store, laugh myself silly playing the ImaginIff board game, and tease my younger sister all without a thought of having to think of getting a babysitter, lecture about keeping ones hands to themselves, or yell at anyone in public! I have forgotten what it's like to think about going somewhere and actually just go. It was definitely A MUCH NEEDED break for me! For this I have to pour out thanks to my wonderful hubby RD. This would not have been at all possible if it weren't for him! THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have missed him and my wonderful kids, that has been the only downer.
Although I am not taking any potatoes home with me, I will be taking many great memories and a better and closer relationship with my mom and sisters!
